EXIT 5 To exit from the Demo Song function, press the e button again. 23 Using the MU5 -- The Play Mode Now that you've heard the sophisticated capabilities of the MU5, try playing with some of them yourself in the Play mode. When you turn on the power of the MU5 or press the e button, the Play mode is automatically called up. In this mode, you can select any of the 16 Parts for playing, and select which Voice is played in each Part. Playing the Keyboard The built-in two-octave keyboard allows you to play the Voices directly from the MU5 itself, without having to use an external keyboard. Since what you play on the keyboard is also transmitted via MIDI (or the TO HOST terminals), you can also play an external tone generator or enter notes to a sequencer.

These serve as a kind of "level meter, " like those found on a mixing console or tape recorder, indicating the level (or velocity) of the Voice at the corresponding Part.

You can change this velocity setting from the Velocity parameter in the Utility mode. (See page 34. ) Changing the Octave Setting Though the keyboard itself is two octaves, you can actually play the MU5 over a ten-octave range. To do this use the d (OCTAVE DOWN) and u (OCTAVE UP) buttons. Press the d button to lower the pitch by an octave, and press the u button to raise it by an octave. The current octave setting is shown in the display. (No indication appears when the octave setting is normal. ) SELECT OCT DOWN OCT UP PART PGM # VOICE NAME OCT Current octave setting.
